The average smartphone display ratio is actually around

. It's the only way to make a bigger phone screen while still having it fit comfortably in your hand.

So after all this work, there'll still be black bars on the game for his Android users to complain about

I'll never understand why they keep making these phones longer. How much shit do you need to fit on your screen?

Anyways, higher aspect ratio is still an upgrade regardless of some ridiculous phone lengths.

Just went and looked at DC's patreon page. The last response was April 30th. We are now May 30th.

Who wants odds on an unforeseen delay?

Remind me in 24 hours. There's going to be an update but I'm guessing it's going to be very underwhelming. We're getting the most basic content from the game, but we can see about two feet more to either side of each scene. It's going to have to be a big upgrade to make any of this delay worth the wait.

What I'm looking at??? is this... is this the fabled ABANDONED tag??? At long last!

Nothing has changed though

Nothing has changed though

that's funny because, yeah, been more than a year and nothing has changed INDEED.

Nothing has changed though

All that whining and yearning for abandoned tags is for nothing.

When did DC put Trump in jail? How many years ago? And today Trump got a guilty verdict with possible jail time. Is DC a time traveler? Does he see the future? What other future secrets did he hide in Summertime Saga All jokes aside did DC said if the update will be at the end of the month or the end of this week? The 31st or the Second?

 

[Count Morado]

All jokes aside did DC said if the update will be at the end of the month or the end of this week?

Yes.

76,949 "we hope to release the first build towards the end of the coming month (May)"
78,416 "will be out this week"

I think the update is supposed to be released this weekend. But it wouldn't surprise me if they had to delay the release.

I disagree, while the game it's in fact a cash cow, I do not think the tech update has been ready for a long time. I just think he is incompetent as a project manager and supervisor.

For me is the exact opposite.
He not only is very competent as a project manager and supervisor but he is also extremely competent in marketing.
Even if the "tech update" was ready to be released why should he do it?

Just the "promise" of releasing an update every 2? months (character centric/routes) has increased his donors number.
And bugs will happen so the 2 months will become at least 3-4 with the "bug fixes".
So he will milk his patrons for at least another two years until he gets the game to the current (20.16) content.

If his patrons were anxious or angry, they would stop donating until he fulfilled his promises and not reward him by extending their sponsorship.

Since they reward DarkCookie for the "half-cookie" that is given to them and they are happy, is there a reason for DarkCookie to give them the entire "cookie box"?

 

[Xupuzulla]

Today is the day,boys.
Say goodbye to the Abandoned tag.

 

[McSlut]

Bro his hardcore fans are eating this shit up,just look at the last pages.
Darkcookie is going to give us crumbs and they are going to enjoy it like a full course meal.

the fact that after years he releases the tech update in parts and drag this thing out for a couple more years and his patreons let him get away with it is batshit insane, but so has been the whole development process

i have a tiny bit of hope that most of his patreons don't realize that this will be just be tech update part 1 out of 10 or whatever and it's going to be a wake up call but chances are pretty much zero they will just eat it up

 

[Badjourasmix]

It's pretty clear that the reason why he decided to release the tech update in chunks is because he knows that the there is no way the full thing will be finished this year, but I doubt that this will have any major effect on his sub count. The game hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and his sub count has been increasing since april of last year and the abandoned tag didn't really do shit either. Just accept the fact that people will keep supporting him no matter what and move on.

 

[vks017]

Its too early to tell. Some of you are very presumptuous as always.
Of course his subs were going to go up after he announced a proof of life update coming. We can give the tag some credit for that at least.
If he continues to delay I can see the already restless patrons becoming more so and that might pressure him to actually speed up a bit.
I am satisfied to see how this plays out having got used to his old status quo of indefinite delay.

Nah,is like the alien dude said,his fanboys are going to support and consume no matter what.
Personally i cant wait to see the reactions,i honestly think alot of people are expecting a bigger release than the one coming

 

[DagonKel]

All I can say Is DarkCookie streams almost every day and talks, answers questions, and works on the game where everyone can see what he is doing. He is not sitting on his butt doing nothing. Check it out yourself.
